  1. I agree that lens sharpness shouldn't be of paramount importance, but with some legacy lenses for some uses this can be a pronlem. Contrary to Mr Takoshi Ueno's comment, even when using Fuji's excellent lenses and sensors, there are situations where colour is incorrectly reproduced -dramatically so in some cases, as when I recently attempted to photograph some early purple orchids. I found this happened with a panasonic camera too. Yes, white balance can be adjusted (etc), but this is also true when using legacy lenses. I've particularly enjoyed using my old Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f1.4, and found it as sharp and more interesting in the bokeh department than an fx lens - though there can be problems with infinity focus with some adapters. I've also had good results using two old Carl Zeiss Jena lenses. The Flektogon 35mm is great for its close focus, and the (sometimes derided) 24mm 'macro', which though not actually a macro lens, gives good results with close subjects. I wouldn't use it for landscapes necessarily, because its less sharp than my Fx lenses, but again, I really like the bokeh. And, as mentioned above, focus peaking helps a lot.
